My fingers hurt

Today Tina and I went to Likha practice. We haven't had practice consistently in a while, so my fingers have lost their calluses. Today we played Pandanggo Oasioas 3x, Chotis 3x, Paragua 5x, Abaruray 5x and Subli 5x. My fingers were cramping towards the end of practice. It was a pretty good practice. Tina went to practice today too, but she wanted to get a feel for it first before participating. (Wow...that's a lot of practice...)

Today I felt the baby kick again. It's kindof like fishing, you put your hand over the belly and hope to feel the baby move. You don't know when or if you'll feel it, but when you do, it's cool. I'm still in the "I can't believe I'm having a baby" stage. Tina is too! I've thought for a long time that I was ready to have children (not by myself though...to have someone else have my children...you know what i mean...) I still think so, but it's no longer thoughts of fancy. Now that I'm on the path and there's no turning back, the excitement, anticipation, and experience of it all can't be described. Everyday is a new adventure. Today Tina and I had a good discussion regarding our own opinions on teenage children and how they interact with the opposite sex.

I used to consider myself pretty liberal, but as I grow older I can see my parents' influence on me. One thing that came out of the discussion was that we both agreed to treat each child equally regardless of their gender. Although I do agree with this...in practice I don't know if it'll be that easy...but I will try my best and I'm sure Tina will remind me :)
